** Duster also gets this treatment quite a lot.
* Juhani and Mical (aka "The Disciple") from [[Knights of the Old Republic]] have somewhat unfortunate character models in-game. The [[Game Mod]] and [[Fan Art]] crews usually tweak the models just enough to make them look a little less plastic-looking.
* ''[[Beyond Good & Evil (video game)|Beyond Good and Evil]]'s'' Jade, although attractive on her own, is known for her ''lack'' of fanservicey-ness, because, in contrast to [[Third -Person Seductress|the trends where many female game protagonists are involved]], she dresses sensibly and has realistic, er, [[Most Common Superpower|proportions]]. Along come the fanartists, dressing her in [[Stripperiffic|skimpy clothing]] and giving her a bustline ranging from "maybe she's wearing a push-up bra in this one" to [[Gag Boobs|"Holy back problems, Batman!"]]
** On the fan''girl'' end of the scale, there's Double H. Although he has an [[Adorkable|appealing personality]], his character design isn't especially attractive. Fanart either tends to soften his extremer traits, making him more conventionally handsome, or ignore them completely to make him cute and adorable.
* A divisive example of this is fan-made mods for games like [[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim|Skyrim]] and the [[Dragon Age]] series, where in-game modifications to "beautify" characters like Aela the Huntress and Aveline exist, though male characters aren't immune either. Far more controversial are the mods that give Dragon Age's Isabella [[Race Lift|lighter skin]], especially if they're explicitly stated by the mod's creator to be self-fanservice.
Line 195:
* PBS is not exempt. Just look up [[Word Girl]] on [[Deviant ART]], and you're sure to find that Becky's often been.... um, [[Most Common Superpower|''enhanced''.]] And then there's the pairing pics.... (It doesn't help that the two most [[Fan-Preferred Couple|popular]] pairings are [[Dating Catwoman|Becky]][[Foe Yay|/]][[All Girls Want Bad Boys|Tobey]] and [[Lolicon|Becky]][[Teacher-Student Romance|/]][[White-Haired Pretty Boy|Two-]][[Mad Scientist|Brains]].
* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' is getting this treatment too. Expect to see lots of bishonen versions of the characters, yaoi of the main characters, and sexy humanized versions of Perry the platypus.
* While [[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Snow White]] is already beautiful, many fanartists tend to forget that's she's only 14 years old and meant to have a modest figure, opposed to being another [[Hourglass Hottie]].
* There's a considerable amount of fan art for ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' that features human versions of the characters of the show. While most of it is G-rated, many artists take advantage of the opportunity to make sexier depictions of the characters without nose-diving into [[Squick]] territory.
** There is a lot of fanart of the ponies themselves as well, of course...
